BLEE 60-in-1 JAMMA PCB Arcade Board CGA VGA

BLEE's 60-in-1 JAMMA PCB is a compact arcade mainboard preloaded with sixty classic vertical-screen titles and outputs for CGA or VGA monitors.

This single-board solution drops into most upright and cocktail arcade cabinets with a standard JAMMA harness, supports one- or two-player controls, and offers audio and trackball connectors for authentic gameplay. The board is sized to fit most arcade control panels, runs on common 5V and 12V rails, and includes options to toggle between CGA (standard) and VGA (higher-resolution) video modes.

How do I install the BLEE 60-in-1 JAMMA board into my cabinet?

Installation is straightforward if your cabinet uses a JAMMA wiring harness and standard arcade power. Power must deliver stable 5V and 12V rails, and the 28-pin JAMMA connector must be oriented correctly to avoid damage.

• Confirm JAMMA harness orientation and clean connector pins before inserting.
• Connect 5V to PIN3/PIN4 and 12V to PIN6 on the JAMMA edge.
• Use the onboard VGA or CGA connector that matches your monitor; switch SW3 settings for the video mode.
• Mount the 143 x 110 mm board away from heat sources and secure with non-conductive standoffs.

Which monitors and video modes are supported and how do I switch between them?

The board supports both CGA (standard definition) and VGA (higher clarity) outputs to match a range of arcade monitors. Video mode is selected via the hardware DIP switches — ensure the correct switch position before powering the system.

• VGA mode: set SW3 position 2 to ON for higher-resolution output.
• CGA mode: set SW3 position 2 to OFF for standard resolution output.
• Use the VGA connector for modern CRT-to-LCD adapters or direct VGA displays.
• Test display after swapping switches; re-initialize board if needed (LED cues indicate state).

Why won't settings save, or why does sound fail sometimes?

Save and sound problems usually trace to unstable supply voltages or incorrect save procedures. The PCB requires correct voltage ranges and a proper save sequence using the start button for settings to persist.

• Ensure 5V and 12V rails are within specification; voltages too low or too high can prevent saves or mute audio.
• To save settings, modify options then press the start key — the display shows “setup OK” when saved.
• If audio is missing, inspect the U35 amplifier for overheating and check whether external amplification is required for 3.5 mm output.
• LED indicators (LED1, LED2, LED3) help diagnose initialization or power issues.

What connectors and features are on the board?

The BLEE board includes the common arcade inputs and a few extras for enhanced control and sound. It supports trackballs and provides a standard audio jack alongside the JAMMA and VGA/CGA outputs.

• 1 x JAMMA edge connector for power and player I/O integration.
• 1 x VGA connector and 1 x audio jack for video and sound output.
• 2 x trackball connectors for eligible game titles and support for one or two players.
• Compact PCB dimensions approximately 143 x 110 mm for flexible mounting.

Who is this for? The BLEE 60-in-1 JAMMA PCB is aimed at hobbyists, arcade restorers, and retro gaming enthusiasts who want an all-in-one drop-in board for vertical-screen cabinets. It suits owners of upright or cocktail machines who can provide a stable arcade power supply and who are comfortable checking DIP switch settings and basic wiring. If you want a convenient way to revive a cabinet with a wide selection of classic titles, this PCB is designed to be a practical, compact solution.
